Skeptics have expressed fury at an online gambler who got lucky and earned nearly half a million dollars betting on when the US would strike Iran. The mystery bettor's biggest win came on Saturday when they profited by 82.73 percent betting that the US would attack Iran by February 28.

This time, however, bets specifically said the US would 'strike' Iran, which matches the reality of what happened on Saturday. Israel said it also killed 40 top Iranian military officials, including the commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard and the defense minister.

The US-Israeli attack on Iran is a dangerous, illegal and badly-conceived military solution to a huge diplomatic and political problem in the Middle East region. Iran’s military power, repressive clerical regime and strategic and demographic scale make it a real disruptive force, but such problems will not be solved by these air and missile attacks. Iranian regime change has long been the objective of Israel’s prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu. The military attacks put the real progress made in them at risk, perhaps beyond retrieval. Instead, renewed Iranian intransigence, potential civil war and widening regional attacks are foreshadowed.
